RE: Le Journey Continues




So today I was in the mood for trying as I now have a good handle on my Accuphase rhodium plug / copper iec into my blue Xangsane.

I found that I had a silver plated copper Viborg iec and swapped out the copper ,

It started out fine listening to Dvorak with more immediacy/ attack, improved timbre and increased focus particularly depicting what's going on in the very back, more clarity on kettle drums
Then I changed to cannonball and his quartet, more listening to sax in particular started getting a little fatiguing as I was beginning to experience a not so good colouration here, kind of verging on shouty.
Maybe if left in overnight or so it may settle in more to my liking ?

Now for the cyco all gold plated copper, here I just found it to be lacking in nuances, it was harder to hear distant cymbal works, rolled off, quite romantic sounding but the attack ans dynamics were just not involving enough, a bit cotton wool is if you like.

So tomorrow, I have changed out the cyco iec to the silver and retaining the gold plug
The other Accuphase cord is back to rhodium plug to copper iec which is my reference.
We shall see then to be continued.
